My True Passion In Life

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a writer. I write about any and everything literally every chance I get. I even carry a notebook with me in my purse or book bag in case I get inspired. Writing truly is my passion.

I've been writing, creatively, for as long as I can remember. The first award I got for my writing was in the first grade. I was awarded "Most Creative Poem". At the time I wasn't that excited or even had that much pride because, well, I was only six. Now that I'm older and can look back at that and many others like it, I can see how easily inspired I was at such a young age.

I feel like I have two passions: writing and teaching. I am a middle level education major with cognates in English and Social Studies. I really enjoy teaching and helping students grow academically and as individuals, but writing is my first love.

Any time I can write about anything, I leap at the chance. I believe that teaching is my calling, but I believe writing is, too. I'm always curious to know how my writing will change my life or the lives of others. I think it's meant for me and I'm blessed I have found both of my passions at such a young age.

So my question is: what's your passion? What truly makes you happy and brings you an immeasurable amount of joy? If you don't know what it is, yet, I encourage you to find out. Explore different things, try new hobbies; just figure out what you love and never give up on it. Too many people let their passions die because it's too hard or doesn't guarantee a high salary, but who cares about money when your passion is involved? Live your life filled with ambition and passion so when you look back, you'll have no regrets.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
